Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of caulking, and in particular, to a caulking device and a system. Background Art

[0002] There are two existing methods for caulking the liquid-cooled flat tube of a battery pack. The first method is to manually use a caulking gun to caulk on the liquid-cooled flat tube. This method has a very low caulking efficiency and often requires multiple people to work simultaneously. In addition, the amount of caulking for each person will be different, and there will be deviations in the caulking positions, making it difficult to achieve high consistency. The second method is to caulk in batches on the production line. Although this method has high efficiency and good consistency, it is generally used on production lines with large-scale production because the equipment itself has high costs for maintenance and operation.

[0036] The following will, with reference to the drawings, elaborate on some embodiments of the present invention. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0037] As described in the background art, there are two ways for the existing battery pack liquid-cooled flat tube gluing device 100. The first way is to manually use a glue gun to apply glue on the liquid-cooled flat tube. This method has very low gluing efficiency and often requires multiple people to work simultaneously. In addition, the amount of glue applied by each person will be different, and there will also be deviations in the gluing positions, making it difficult to achieve high consistency. The second way is to apply glue in batches on the production line. Although this method has high efficiency and good consistency, it is generally used on production lines with large-scale production because the cost of the equipment itself, maintenance, and operation costs are relatively high. Therefore, the disadvantages of the existing methods include: the manual gluing scheme has very low gluing efficiency and poor consistency, making it difficult to meet customer requirements; the automatic gluing scheme on the production line requires high equipment costs, maintenance, and operation costs, and is generally not used in the small-batch experimental trial production stage.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, a gluing device system is provided. A plurality of glue cylinders are arranged on the glue cylinder mounting plate, and support columns are arranged below the glue cylinder mounting plate. When glue cylinders are installed in the respective glue cylinder mounting holes and move downward, each support column squeezes each glue cylinder, so that the glue liquid in each glue cylinder flows onto the liquid-cooled flat tube to complete gluing, thereby improving the gluing efficiency without using high costs.

[0039] The following is an exemplary description of the gluing device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention:

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a gluing device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The gluing device 100 includes a workbench 110, a gluing mechanism 120, and a frame. The frame is used to fixedly connect the gluing mechanism 120 to the workbench 110. The gluing mechanism 120 includes a base 121, a movable connection component 123, and a glue cylinder mounting plate 122. The movable connection component 123 is used to connect the base 121 and the glue cylinder mounting plate 122. The glue cylinder mounting plate 122 includes a plurality of glue cylinder mounting holes 1221. A plurality of support columns 111 and at least one limit slide bar 112 are arranged on the workbench 110. The limit slide bar 112 penetrates the glue cylinder mounting plate 122, and the glue cylinder mounting plate 122 can move up and down along the limit slide bar 112. Each support column 111 corresponds to each glue cylinder mounting hole 1221 one by one, and the central axis of the support column 111 is aligned with the central axis of the corresponding glue cylinder mounting hole 1221. A liquid-cooled flat tube (not shown in the figure) is placed between the support columns 111. When glue cylinders (not shown in the figure) are installed in the respective glue cylinder mounting holes and move downward, each support column 111 squeezes each glue cylinder, so that the glue liquid in each glue cylinder flows onto the liquid-cooled flat tube.

[0041] From Figure 1It can be seen that the workbench 110 is placed on the ground, one end of the frame is fixed on the workbench 110, and the other end is fixed with a base 121 of the glue-spraying mechanism 120, wherein the frame can be hook-shaped, and the upper part extends outward, so that the glue-spraying mechanism 120 has enough space for movement. The base 121 is connected to the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 through a movable connection component 123, and the movable connection component 123 can move up and down to drive the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 to move up and down. A limited sliding rod 112 is provided on the workbench 110, and the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 passes through the limited sliding rod 112, so that the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 can only move in the upper and lower directions. The workbench 110 is provided with support columns 111, and the number of support columns 111 is the same as the number of rubber cylinder mounting holes 1221 on the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122, and they correspond one to one.

[0042] During the process of gluing the liquid-cooled flat tube, the liquid-cooled flat tube is placed between the support columns 111. In one possible manner, a liquid-cooled flat tube is placed between four support columns 111, as shown in the figure. If there are 8 support columns 111, two liquid-cooled flat tubes can be glued, or a longer U-shaped liquid-cooled flat tube can be glued. The support columns 111 described here are only exemplary. In the present utility model, the number of support columns 111 is not limited. After the rubber cylinder is fixedly installed in the rubber cylinder mounting hole 1221, the movable connection component 123 is pulled downward to drive the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 to move downward. When the rubber cylinder hits the support column 111, it will be squeezed, and the glue in the rubber cylinder will flow onto the liquid-cooled flat tube to complete the gluing; then, the movable connection component 123 is pulled upward to start the next cycle of gluing.

[0043] The gluing device 100 provided in the embodiment of the utility model can drive the glue cylinder mounting plate 122 to move only in the up and down directions through the movable connection component 123, and the support column 111 squeezes the glue cylinder to make the glue flow onto the liquid-cooled flat tube for gluing, thereby improving the gluing efficiency and eliminating the need to use a high-cost production line automatic gluing solution, thereby improving the gluing efficiency on the basis of controlling costs.

[0044] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2Schematic diagram of a movable connection component 123 provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. The movable connection component 123 in the embodiment of the present utility model may include a handle 1231, a pull ring 1232, and a bracket 1233. One end of the handle 1231 close to the base 121 is rotatably connected to the base 121 through a rotating component 1234. One end of the handle 1231 far from the base 121 is rotatably connected to one end of the pull ring 1232 far from the cartridge mounting plate 122 through a rotating component 1234. One end of the pull ring 1232 close to the cartridge mounting plate 122 is rotatably connected to one end of the bracket 1233 far from the cartridge mounting plate 122 through a rotating component 1234. One end of the bracket 1233 close to the cartridge mounting plate 122 is fixedly connected to the cartridge mounting plate 122.

[0045] It can be seen that Figure 2 by connecting the base 12332 and the handle 1231, the handle 1231 and the pull ring 1232, and the pull ring 1232 and the bracket 1233 respectively through three rotating components 1234, and through the rotational cooperation of these three points, the cartridge mounting plate 122 can move only in the up and down directions along the limit slide bar 112. Among them, the rotating component 1234 may include a round head flat tail nail and an open spring ring. The rotating component 1234 has a round head at one end and a flat tail at the other end. The round head is used to provide resistance during rotation, and the flat tail design facilitates knocking into the fixed structure. Alternatively, the rotating component 1234 may include a round shaft and two open spring rings. The round shaft serves as the central rotating component of the rotating component 1234 for transmitting the rotational torque. The two open spring rings are respectively arranged at both ends of the round shaft to provide elastic support and fixation during rotation, ensuring the stability of the round shaft during rotation.

[0046] Furthermore, the bracket 1233 may include a support rod 12331 and a connecting base 12332. The connecting base 12332 is fixed to the cartridge mounting plate 122 by screws, and the support rod 12331 is welded to the connecting base 12332. Among them, preferably, the connecting base 12332 may be a rectangular plate, and the aspect ratio of the length and width of the connecting base 12332 is the same as that of the cartridge mounting plate 122. Using the connecting base 12332 with the same aspect ratio can make the force between the connecting base 12332 and the cartridge mounting plate 122 more balanced. Currently, in some other embodiments, other connecting bases 12332 such as circular blocks and square blocks may also be used, which are not limited herein.

[0047] In order to be able to use liquid-cooled flat tubes of different thicknesses, the support rod 12331 used can be a telescopic rod to adjust the distance between the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 and the pull ring 1232. The support rod 12331 can be adjusted according to the actual situation so that it can just drive the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 to squeeze the rubber cylinder against the support column 111. This telescopic rod can be a sleeve-type telescopic rod, a spiral-type telescopic rod, a spring-type telescopic rod, a locking-type telescopic rod, etc. As long as it can adjust the distance between the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 and the pull ring 1232, there is no limitation here.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a pull ring 1232 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The pull ring 1232 is a double-ear structure pull ring 1232, which is composed of a first ear-shaped plate 12321 and a second ear-shaped plate 12322. The two ends of the first ear-shaped plate 12321 and the second ear-shaped plate respectively clamp one end of the handle 1231 away from the base 121 and one end of the bracket 1233 away from the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122. By combining the two ear-shaped plates to form the pull ring 1232, a certain space can be formed between the handle 1231 and the bracket 1233, so as to reduce friction when the movable connection assembly 123 moves. It is also convenient for installation and maintenance. During installation, directly clamp one end of the first ear-shaped plate 12321 and the second ear-shaped plate on the handle 1231, fix it with the rotating assembly 1234, and then clamp the other end on the bracket 1233 and fix it with the rotating assembly 1234 to complete the installation.

[0049] Optionally, a bearing 1222 can also be provided at the place where the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 is penetrated by the limit slide rod 112. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic installation diagram of a bearing 1222 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. It can be understood that the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 is designed with a through hole for accommodating the limit slide rod 112, and a bearing 1222 is provided at the through hole. The bearing 1222 can be a rolling bearing 1222 or a sliding bearing 1222. By installing the bearing 1222, the rubber cylinder mounting plate 122 can reduce friction and ensure smooth sliding.

[0050] Based on the above implementation manner, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a caulking system 10. Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic structural diagram of a caulking system 10 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The caulking system 10 includes a plurality of the above-mentioned caulking devices 100 and a connecting rod 200. The connecting rod 200 fixedly connects the movable connection assemblies 123 of each caulking device 100. Figure 5It can be seen that a connecting rod 200, which can be a long board or a round rod, etc., is fixedly connected to the handle 1231 of multiple caulking devices 100. By pulling the connecting rod 200, multiple caulking devices 100 can be driven to work simultaneously, enabling faster caulking of the liquid-cooled flat tube.

[0051] In summary, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a caulking device and a system. The caulking device includes a workbench, a caulking mechanism, and a frame. The frame is used to fixedly connect the caulking mechanism to the workbench. The caulking mechanism includes a base, a movable connection component, and a cartridge mounting plate. The movable connection component is used to connect the base and the cartridge mounting plate. The cartridge mounting plate includes multiple cartridge mounting holes. Multiple support columns and at least one limiting slide rod are provided on the workbench. The limiting slide rod penetrates the cartridge mounting plate, and the cartridge mounting plate can move up and down along the limiting slide rod. Each support column corresponds to each cartridge mounting hole one by one, and the cartridge mounting holes corresponding to the central axes of the support columns are facing each other. The liquid-cooled flat tube is placed between the support columns. When cartridges are installed in the cartridge mounting holes and move downward, each support column presses each cartridge, causing the glue liquid in each cartridge to flow onto the liquid-cooled flat tube. Thus, the caulking efficiency can be improved without incurring high costs. By connecting multiple caulking devices and pulling the connecting rod, the caulking system can drive multiple caulking devices to work simultaneously, further improving the caulking efficiency of the liquid-cooled flat tube.
